Ministry of Agriculture &
Farmers Welfare
MSP for different crops
Government of India announces Minimum Support Prices  for 22 major agricultural commodities of Fair Average Quality  each year in both the Crop seasons after taking into account the recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices . In addition, MSP for toria and de-husked coconut is also fixed on the basis of MSPs of rapeseed & mustard and copra respectively. Government also extends remunerative price to farmers through its various interventions schemes. Besides, the overall market also responds to declaration of MSP and Government’s procurement operations which results in private procurement on or above the MSP for various notified crops.
Government extends price support for paddy and wheat through the Food Corporation of India  and State Agencies. Under this policy, whatever food grains are offered by farmers within the stipulated period & conforming to the specifications prescribed by Government are purchased at Minimum Support Price  by the State Government agencies including FCI for Central Pool. It aims to service the National Food Security Act  and other welfare schemes of the Government so that subsidized food grains are supplied to the poor and needy, and to build up buffer stocks of food grains to ensure food grain security.
Further, different types of nutri-cereals and maize are procured by State Governments itself in consultation with FCI to the extent that the concerned State Government may utilise the same for distribution under Targeted Public Distribution System  as well as Other Welfare Schemes .
Oilseeds, pulses and copra of Fair Average Quality  are procured from registered farmers under Price Support Scheme under Umbrella Scheme of Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay SanraksHan Abhiyan , as per its prescribed guidelines. Under PM-AASHA, States / UTs are offered to choose either Price Support Scheme  or Price Deficiency Payment Scheme  in a given procurement season with respect to particular oilseeds crop for the entire State. Further, States have the option to roll out Private Procurement and Stockist Scheme  on pilot basis in district / selected APMC of district involving the participation of private stockist for oilseeds. Cotton and Jute are also procured by Government at MSP through Cotton Corporation of India  and Jute Corporation of India .
For making effective procurement by government agencies, procurement centers are opened by respective State Government Agencies and Central Nodal Agencies like NAFED, FCI etc after taking into account the production, marketable surplus, convenience of farmers and availability of other logistics/ infrastructure such as storage and transportation etc. large number of the purchase centers in addition to the existing mandis and depots/godowns are also established at key points for the convenience of farmers.
 : The MSP for the crops in the last five years, crop-wise, year-wise and amount increased each year compared to the preceding year is at Annexure-I.
